Pretty sure that fireplace is just "how did you heat a house effectively 100+ years ago". Lots of brick because it retains heat well, stick it in the middle of the house so you don't radiate anything to the outdoors and so it's close to where you spend your time. The actual brickwork is competent, and while the asymmetry may be a bit visually displeasing, I assume it was done very intentionally. Maybe that's a warming shelf or something.

Can you turn a fireplace into a hearth?

It may just be an artifact of photography, but it looks like that hearth smokes, in which case it is a very bad fireplace and its mason should be ashamed.

There's something about those photos that makes it look unreal. There's something off about it, like the whole room is a 3D render and then someone pasted that chimney in photoshop, or paint. At any rate it looks like a bog standard open fireplace, probably the chimney goes straight up and 90% of the energy is lost.

Arsenic Lupin posted:It may just be an artifact of photography, but it looks like that hearth smokes, in which case it is a very bad fireplace and its mason should be ashamed. If there’s smoke it’s probably because they failed to clean it for a long time. This is one of the few applications where a brick fireplace can help heat a home, and it’s possible that when the kitchen was a separate room the refrigerator was in a different location and there was a cook stove that vented into the chimney on the other side of that fireplace. It probably predates electric refrigeration. The asymatry is partially from the angle of the shot and partially because they may have had a warmer there or some other additional function that used heat given off by the fireplace. The big problem with fireplaces in most mid-century homes is that they are often located on outside walls so you have a giant mass of bricks that is partly outside in cold weather and it fucks up the draw.

A fireplace can be quite an efficient way of heating a house, as long as you use a "kakluuni" and is common in modern homes still in finland. Up to 90% efficiency reported. e: Also I wonder if that chimney leaks, over here it's mandatory to put render over bare brick chimneys that are inside living areas because they tend to develop leaks.

Smoke could also be from previous owners who failed at Using the Damper 101, or didn't know how to deal with backdraft.

It has no depth, and is exactly the same in the first two pictures.

Low effort. The four of these I found in my attic over the first decade of ownership were each wrapped in at least an entire roll of friction tape.

I lived in a place like this which had an ultra steep, uneven take on servant's stairs that lead up to where my bedroom was. It was basically Minecraft spiral stairs at such a steep grade it became a side-show attraction for guests where we'd ask them to "imagine trying to get up these stairs drunk and in the dark."

It's just PVC pipe rammed inside the launcher, so it's not exactly wise to smoke from it, yet kinda thread appropriate.

Perfectly legal to own as long as it's demilled (check state/city laws), not even a background check, used to be in every milsurp store in the country in the 90s for $50-250. They still pop up in milsurp stores, just much rarer now. AT4 tubes have been trickling through milsurp stores the past decade or so, but they're typically much pricier. I got mine at my last duty station. We were cleaning out a training equipment container and it was casually tossed into the trash pile, and I happened to mistake my trunk for a dumpster. It was already drilled, I gutted the controls later so it will never be functional again, but I should have kept them to rig up LEDs or something.

Minor for this thread, but found in an otherwise supposedly upscale hotel. I like the cable guide for... style, apparently.
